toast.* — Toast
Type Library
Overview
The Toast plugin shows non-intrusive in-app notification messages for iOS and Android. A must have for any Corona application. To get access to the plugin, you need to support me on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/lerg
Toasts are not a part of Corona’s OpenGL hierarchy, therefore they don’t affect your Corona objects in any way. They just display a message and silently disappear.
Supported platforms: iOS 7+ and Android 2.3.3+.

To use this plugin, add an entry into the plugins table of build.settings. When added, the build server will integrate the plugin during the build phase.
You also need to add a special function at the top of the build.settings file and provide your Patreon email and an access key. The access key you get when you become a patron.
local spiralcodestudio_patreon_email = 'YOUR_EMAIL'
local spiralcodestudio_key = 'YOUR_ACCESS_KEY'
local function spiralcodestudio_plugin(name)
local plugin = {publisherId = 'com.spiralcodestudio', supportedPlatforms = {}}
local platforms = {'android', 'appletvos', 'appletvsimulator', 'iphone', 'iphone-sim', 'mac-sim', 'win32-sim'}
for i = 1, #platforms do
local platform = platforms[i]
plugin.supportedPlatforms[platform] = {url = 'https://build.spiralcodestudio.com/' .. spiralcodestudio_patreon_email .. '/' .. spiralcodestudio_key .. '/solar2d/' .. name .. '_' .. platform .. '.tgz'}
end
return plugin
